Cell phones and other portable devices are equipped with a variety of technologies by
which existing functionality can be improved, and new functionality can be provided. Some …

Fast-Match is a fast algorithm for approximate template matching under 2D affine
transformations that minimizes the Sum-of-Absolute-Differences (SAD) error measure. There …

This cutting-edge volume, Computer Vision and Recognition Systems: Research
Innovations and Trends, focuses on how artificial intelligence can be used to give computers …

We propose a novel method for template matching in unconstrained environments. Its
essence is the Best Buddies Similarity (BBS), a useful, robust, and parameter-free similarity …

A computer vision-based wayfinding and navigation aid can improve the mobility of blind
and visually impaired people to travel independently. In this paper, we develop a new …

We propose a novel measure for template matching named Deformable Diversity Similarity--
based on the diversity of feature matches between a target image window and the template …

Nickel-based superalloys, used extensively in advanced gas turbine engines, exhibit
complex microstructures that evolve during exposure to high temperatures (ie, aging …

We propose a novel method for template matching in unconstrained environments. Its
essence is the Best-Buddies Similarity (BBS), a useful, robust, and parameter-free similarity …

Since the manual inspection of analog instruments is inefficient, many computer vision-
based automatic reading systems have been proposed recently. However, most of them use …

Background The localization of objects of interest is a key initial step in most image analysis
workflows. For biomedical image data, classical image-segmentation methods like …
